Sorry for the image quality but atleast you can get a good idea of what im in.. I jsut finished changing the trim and putting the OME business Cd back in you can see in the photo attached how it was before, i also took that white decal off my back window.. cleaner look.. got a full oil service done repaired air intake boot and runs beautifully. Let me know what you guys think?

you need to get some new corner lenses...
black grilles
clears

that will start you off..

then drop

AdrianBmW · 07-20-2009, 11:00 AM

Yeah thats what im looking into doing, i did the same for my blk e36.. thanks for the advise

CTD · 07-20-2009, 11:07 AM

first you repaint those wheel hubs... Man they are rusty. Then buy a set of floor mats that actualy fit.

next: Drop it and get some clears...

Welcome!

get yourself the North American (typically the US) front plate holder itll look better than that euro one with the front plate you have. definitely get some smoked corners, sides and rears.. and btw.. welcome

Welcome.

mie17 · 07-20-2009, 11:11 AM

AdrianBmW · 07-20-2009, 11:29 AM

Thanks fellas, i know i got a bunch to work with and thats what i wanted anyways.. if theres nothing to do then what fun is there ? ha

SteelGray3 · 07-20-2009, 11:45 AM

Wow, that has a lot of potential and atleast you see it. I suggest smoked for that color. With how dark it is smoked will really flow well, smoked corners, smoked sidemarkers, and either smoked or clear LEDs, or even RCRs, whatever floats your boat.
